"Gaulu Peak has probably absorbed quite a few refugees, as well as the surrounding villages and other bandits."
"I'm afraid the number of people now is at least over 300."
Liu Feng frowned and heard the sound of arrows breaking through the air gradually becoming sparse. He slowly stretched his head out to check.
Under Liu Feng's decisive command, except for a few of Wang Dingliu's sentinels who died in the initial battle, everyone else was safe and sound.
Lin Xiaoxi and his men have pushed all the tanks back under the rain of arrows. They will place these tanks on the main passage in a while, and then it will be the home ground of archers such as Wang Dian.
Seeing that everyone on his side had already taken shelter and was suppressed by the enemy's rain of arrows, he immediately launched a full-scale attack.
These bandits were well-equipped, all wearing leather armor and holding long swords. They all had fierce eyes and murderous intent, and advanced in neat rows.
This formation really looks like an army attack, much stronger than Han De's previous performance.
"Everyone cheer up and prepare for battle."
Lin Xiaoxi first ordered the tanks to block all the roads that the enemy had the opportunity to enter the village.
"kill……."
There was a loud shout from the performance.
In the open space at the entrance of the village, the sound of dense footsteps mixed with the sound of crunching snow was approaching rapidly.
Wang Dian and his men went into the house.
The first group of bandits quickly approached the road inside the village. Just as they reached the bend, they saw a tank in front of them.
Dozens of spears suddenly stretched out from the tank, each spear reaping a life, causing screams to be heard.
After this wave of attacks, the bandits were about to retreat when countless arrows suddenly shot out from the houses on both sides.
There was almost no need to aim at this time because these bandits were too close. Even if they were wearing armor, at such a close distance, once they were shot, their bodies would be pierced.
These bandits came with great force, but they were met with a head-on attack as soon as they reached the village entrance.
They were panicked for a moment and their formation was in chaos.
"Don't panic, rush in, and get around."
A commanding voice came from behind.
The bandits immediately prepared themselves, all moving closer to the wall and poking their way into any gaps they found.
They broke the windows, crashed through the earthen walls, and got into the house, but Wang Dian and the others had already left.
"Stop them and don't let them pour in."
Crunch.
The tank slowly turned and came to the gate of the courtyard, blocking the door directly. The bandits who were about to rush out were immediately stabbed to death by the sudden spears.
The air was filled with all kinds of screams, even curses before death. A few clever bandits tried to climb over the wall and use it as a springboard to climb onto the back of the tank.
But as soon as they showed their heads, they were killed by arrows shot from nowhere.
"Retreat, retreat quickly..."
Seeing his men rushing forward and suffering heavy casualties, it was like falling into a quagmire. Their desperate struggles were futile.
The one who was watching on horseback from the rear decisively gave the order to retreat.
At this time, Liu Feng was still in the house. Listening to the sound, he had basically locked the other party's position, and then took out the dagger he carried with him.
The man on horseback was short and looked like a skinny monkey. He had a very bad appearance. It seemed that he was the third in command, Li Sanpao, whom Wu Jiang mentioned.
After hearing Li Sanpao's order to retreat, the bandits retreated quickly without stopping.
But they forgot that turning around at this time would mean an even more miserable death.
If they continued to advance into the house, compressing Liu Feng's movement space and manpower, they would still have a chance to kill archers like Wang Dian.
However, they retreated without knowing the location of the enemy archers. In this way, Wang Dian and other archers did not have to worry about defense at all and could just stand by the window and shoot arrows.
At this time, the bandits are sitting ducks.
Arrows flew out of the house like rain, and after the bandits stumbled out, only one in ten were left.
"Archers, aim at those windows and release your arrows."
"Don't leave any of these bastards alive."
Li Sanpao shouted.
Wang Dian and his men had made hasty preparations and began to deploy their defenses after receiving the news, without carrying enough arrows.
After the last few rounds of attacks, their quivers were almost empty.
However, Li Sanpao's actions directly replenished their arrows, and several people hid behind the wall and laughed happily.
"Almost."
Liu Feng calculated the time and then shouted.
"Wang Dian, lead the archers to gather their arrows and prepare for a counterattack."
"Lin Xiaoxi, move forward."
"Yes, village chief."
Lin Xiaoxi nodded in agreement and turned to leave.
"I heard it all. This time it's time for us to show our strength. Don't let Wang Dian and his archers steal our limelight."
"Come on."
Five tanks were pushed out at the same time, targeting the large force where Li Sanpao was.
When Li Sanpao's archers saw that it was a tank, they all became excited and shot arrows at the tank without hesitation.
But they didn't know that after the first practice, Liu Feng had already asked Zhuzi to modify the tank.
All four sides are protected by thickened wooden boards. An extra layer of wooden boards can be installed at the front, which is the most attacking point, so it is impossible for arrows to penetrate it.
After being pushed out for about twenty meters, the entire tank was already covered with dense arrows, like a giant hedgehog.
"Third Master, it's bad, we are running out of arrows."
"What the hell is this?"
Li Sanpao cursed angrily. This wave of attack caused him to lose at least forty people. The remaining sixty or so people, plus the forty or so people led by Han De before.
Nearly a hundred people have been lost on this trip.
If he returns empty-handed, how will he explain to the boss when he gets back?
What's more, Han De was the second in command, and it was he who suggested that the second in command be used as a decoy and bait.
If he failed to capture Siwa Village and ran back in disgrace, the boss would definitely use his head as a sacrifice to his dead brothers.
"Brothers, charge forward and crush them with the power of your horses."
"Third boss, be careful. There are people inside that wooden block, and they are all armed with spears."
"Are you afraid of death? Go ahead, even if it means crashing into them, we will smash them to pieces."
There were not many bandits on horseback under Li Sanpao, so he had to take the lead himself. He shouted loudly to give himself courage, then took the lead and rushed out.
Although the following bandits had grim expressions, they had no choice but to charge forward after seeing the third in command rush out. There were six horses in total, and each of them aimed at a tank.
At this moment, Lin Xiaoxi and others hiding in the chariot were not panicked at all, although the huge impact force of the horses might really crush the chariot.
But Lin Xiaoxi knew better that archers like Wang Dian would not give these horses a chance to exert their strength.
